This was an amazing season. I'll admit I didn't get to enjoy the tournament run as much because it just seemed like one of those where nothing but a title would be good enough... It was more of a relief when they won than the excitement of winning.

This was a special group of high character winners, I wish every single one of them nothing but the best in the NBA. Time to reload, already love the attitude of the crop coming in. Cal doesn't just go for talent, he gets guys with good heads on their shoulders.

This is beginning to shape up as a golden age for Kentucky basketball, I hope. Just enjoying the ride, we've waited a while for this.

Kentucky is awesome. Just to get this out of the way, I can't stand Cal, I think he's a slimeball that buys college players through back channels. And buys off those that know about it. That has nothing to do with UK, however. It's a damning of him.

I really like kids he's brought in on the team. I also think he is a great college coach (aside from my belief that he's dirty).

True... I guess I mostly mean to be back to where I feel like we should be, I hadn't felt like we could make the Final Four since '99 (our good teams got wiped out early in the tournament - UAB and Bogans getting hurt then losing to D Wade). That's not something Duke/UNC/Kansas etc. fans felt. Still, your statement is probably true.

Call has his connections but at this point if people think he'd risk his head paying players I think they're crazy, mostly because there's a lot of honest reasons why players would pick Kentucky.

I will say I'm worried about having all this NBA talent on campus and a player finally giving in to an agent/runner. The risk you take I suppose.

Orlando Antigua (was considered for Duquesne) and Kenny Payne (was considered by Mississippi St.) for Kentucky are big ones. Antigua is a big time recruiter and Payne really connects with the players (3 of the 5 mentioned him when they announced going pro).

I also feel like Georgetown is a good job to have or underrated and then Wake and Tech as well.

Problem with my beloved Hoyas is facilities. They easily have the worst of any major D1 basketball program. No training facilities. A decrepit, aging on site gym that houses maybe what, 7,000? Honestly, You'll see better at your local YMCA in terms of a weight room and training access. They've been trying to build a new training center for more than a decade but your in one of the most historic areas of Washington, DC so land is very, VERY hard to come by and the powers that be at the university aren't too keen in giving a one of the more prestigious Catholic universities in the world a 'modern' face-lift. It may sound minor but you get a kid that visit us, than takes a trip to say Florida and I'm sure he's thinking about whether or not Georgetown can properly prepare him for the next level. Then you have a school and president who aren't really pressed about the whole issue. Georgetown is a academic institution that just happens to be very good in one sport(well two if you count lacrosse). Its not really on their agenda to accommodate at basketball coach looking to build a powerhouse. I mean they care but not really. It's not imperative to them in the grand scheme. Kind of like, 'this is the situation, take it it leave it' kind of thing.

Harrison twins pick between UK or MD on Thursday. Julius Randle is now down to UK, UF, KU, TX, NCSU & OU.

If Wiggins does indeed re-declare, this seems like it has the potential to be a truly special class for UK, even if they don't currently have any big commitments right now. Can you imagine a team with the Harrison twins, Randle and Wiggins?

I try not to. In all honesty if they didn't go undefeated I'd be shocked.
